We are happy to announce that S.K. Pradhan, Secretary General of the People's Forum for Human Rights and Development (PFHRD), was released from prison on September 20, 2004. Mr. Pradhan has informed the World Movement for Democracy that he has been reunited with his wife and daughter and has returned to PFHRD's office, which was destroyed during his absence, after enduring physical and mental suffering during his three years of imprisonment. Mr. Pradhan would like to express his gratitude for the outpouring of concern, support, and solidarity. He states "I have been made to suffer for a crime not committed by me. I have been subjected to a punishment for a crime in which I am neither involved nor related. I request you to kindly initiate actions to find out the truth. I need justice from the international community." S.K. Pradhan has suffered on behalf of democracy and human rights for the people of Bhutan.
